Explanation

Brazil is the only country in the world crossed by both the equator and the Tropic of Capricorn. The equator runs through northern Brazil (including the Amazon region), while the Tropic of Capricorn passes through southern Brazil (near São Paulo). This gives Brazil most of its tropical and subtropical climate zones. No other country has both these important latitude lines crossing through it.
